What if NBC doesn't want Ottawa to be in the playoffs? Then it doesn't matter if we win/lose

Forgive my crude language, but NBC can suck it.

I hear ya. The Rangers and the Thrashers are the two teams that affect when the Sens clinch due to games remaining and how far back they are in points. A single point by the Sens will put our point total out of reach by both of them, thus clinching a spot. It does not matter what they do as long as we get a point as they won't be able to catch us at all.

The Thrashes need to get 2 points tonight to remain a factor on our clinching of a spot. If we don't get any points tonight, and they get 2 points, then they remain a factor. If they only get 1 point, they are no longer a factor and the Rangers are the only team that become a factor, provided we don't get any points tonight.

Perfect, thanks Shabbs. That's what I was looking for.

Conversely, if we lose in regulation and the Thrashers lose in regulation AND the Rangers lose (regulation or OT/SO) tomorrow night... then we'll clinch tomorrow night, even though we're not playing and didn't get any points.

No, the Thrashers could lose in OT or SO.

For the record, I was being facetious when I asked. I've been looking at our magic number since it was 5.

Hee-hee. I actually introduced the girls (aged 7) to that song just last night. Gotta get the classics in them early. When I went on YouTube thought I could not even find the original. The closest was Three Dog Night (closest in terms of release date as well as sound).
